Operating Instructions: How to Play
The game can be played individually or with 1-2 players.
Basic Memory Matching Game:
- Player 1's Turn: The first player flips open any two blue tiles on the board.
- Check for a Match:
- If the two revealed images match, the player keeps the tiles open and moves their score tracker forward by one point. The player then takes another turn.
- If the two revealed images do not match, the player flips both tiles back down, concealing the images. Their turn ends.
- Player 2's Turn: If no match was made, the next player takes their turn, following the same steps.
- Continue Play: Players continue taking turns until all matching pairs have been found and all tiles are open.
- Winning the Game: The player with the most matched pairs (indicated by their score tracker) at the end of the game wins.
